The BBC's beyond belief program is always a regular source of interesting debate and discussion on a huge range of topics - if you have 30 minutes on your journey to school then this is a perfect show to download and dig deeper into a topic.


A huge range of subjects have been covered over the years and there are 151 programs avaliable to download from the BBC Website. These include (click on the link to go there):
  • Purgatory
  • Race Relations in the USA
  • Moses
  • Karma
  • Seven Deadly Sins
  • Shakespeare and Religion 
  • Charity 
  • Christian Attitudes towards the environment
  • Eve
  • The Theology of JRR Tolkein


And These are only on the first 4 of 16 pages...

The particular episode I want to highlight today for my Y9 students studying Islam is yesterday's (09/03/15) episode on The end times in Islam. This episode as a whole is beyond the scope of what we might generally hope to study in lessons - but is a great opportunity to dig deeper!

The presenter, Ernie Rea, discusses Islamic beliefs about the end times with eminent scholars such as Ibrahim Mogra, Dr Shurug Nagruib and Dr Rebeca Masterson. They discuss ideas about the end of the world in Islam, the role of Jesus in Islamic Theology, the differences between Shia and Sunni Islam and if the so-called "Islamic State" believe their actions are speeding up the onset of the end times.

If you don't have 30 minutes, the first discussion up until the interview (at 14.09)  and then the final sum-up (which starts at 26.19) are well worth a listen to on their own.
